Abstract excerpt
Defects in the assembly of dolichol-linked oligosaccharide or its transfer to proteins result in severe, multi-system human diseases called Type I congenital disorders of glycosylation. We have identified a novel CDG type, CDG-Ij, resulting from deficiency in UDP-GlcNAc: dolichol phosphate N-acetyl-glucosamine-1 phosphate transferase (GPT) activity encoded by DPAGT1. The patient presents with severe hypotonia,...
